The Fires in Yorba Linda

Yikes! What a Saturday. I was in Palm Desert all weekend, so my husband and 13 year old daughter had to do all the packing. Once evacuation was mandatory, they put everything in the car and went to a friends house in Orange. They were able to come back home early Sunday morning. Our neighbor left for a few hours, but returned late Saturday and took these photos. The one-story house you see in the foreground is ours!

Look in the December issue of O Magazine!

We're listed as her Favorite All Time Gifts! And I agree. There's nothing like giving a gift that makes people cry with joy! And you can be guaranteed that they will NEVER end up in a garage sale!

ABC's of Father list

I just helped a client finish a book for her father's birthday this Sunday. She had worked for weeks, gathering all the photos she wanted to include. I went to her house and she stared the book while I scanned the photos. Because of the time crunch, I went ahead and actually made the book for her, then she proofed it. She didn't have much text in it, so we decided to take each alphabet and put one on each page, then the word that went with it. For example, A is for admirable, B is for builder, C is for caring, D is for devoted, etc. Since the book has so little text, it made a huge difference in how the book "felt". So if you're ever at a loss for words in a book, this may be a good technique to use. You can find a lot of ABC lists on the internet.

Digital Scrapbooking in not a crime!

I scrapbooked for years before starting to scrapbook digital. At first I fought it tooth and nail, then I was asked to be on the hp scrapbook design team. I was "forced" to use digital, having to use their scrapbooking software, Creative Scrapbook Assistant. Each month we were given an assignment and the digital art to use. After a few months I really started to enjoy it. We did a lot of hybrid scrapbooking (before that term was even used). About 6 months later, as I was walking through a scrapbooking convention, I ran across Heritage Makers, what I felt was the perfect marriage for my love of scrapbooking and my love of working on the computer. I was instantly hooked. Now I rarely scrapbook by hand. In fact, I just offered my son half the profits if he sells my scrapbook supplies for me, either on Craig's List or eBay, his choice. It's a win-win situation, and I will have so much extra room in my office! Maybe I can even organize it...gee, wouldn't that be awsome?!!?!? All my friends still scrapbook by hand, and that's okay. I happen to LOVE digital scrapbooking, but only through Heritage Makers. I love their drag & drop on-line software!

I'm now a Blogger!

Wow, I've put it off a long time, but finally have decided to start my own blog for the Heritage Makers side of "me". Here I'll share projects I'm working on, tips and tricks using Heritage Studio, special publishing stories from clients, etc. If you have something to share, let's hear about it!
